[Mageia-discuss] Alpha 2 bug ? (x86_64)

I've noticed on Alpha 2, on a clean vm install that
kernel-desktop-latest-2.6.37.3-1.mga gets installed but the
kernel-desktop-devel-latest-2.6.37.3-1.mga. does not.

This is not a good idea especially if someone new to linux hits the update
button at the end of the installation process.
Since kernel-desktop-2.6.37.4-1.mga is already on the mirrors. An
inexperienced user would most likely boot into a text log-in instead of a
graphical one and think his install is broken.

I see this very same thing happen over and over on the Mandriva
forum..Please either add the kernel-desktop-latest-devel as an
installation dependency or remove the kernel-desktop-latest from the
default installation.
